This wild Ipomoea (I think it is called Ipomoea carica ) is seen clambering over every available inch of space ... over sand, rock , tree or building... and blooming its head off so exuberantly!

In Mumbai this creeper has taken over vast stretches of untended land and roadside scrub. Can you imagine seeing a whole sea of mauve and purple flowers beaming at you? No wonder it's called Coastal Morning Glory!

I love this shade. Once when we were flying over Los Angeles, all I could see was a sea of purple haze - it was April, and the jacaranda was blooming at every possible place. Another lovely picture, Sunita.

Sue, this has to be one of the few invasive plants that I really dont mind taking over the countryside. It covers up so much dust and grime and junk. But my garden... now, that's another matter altogether :)
